Thanks for you comments, birdguy. You are correct. It's not fair to say Bill Clinton is "nothing but" a lying womanizer. Bill Clinton is so much more.

After all, one of his first official acts as president was to convince Congress to enact the largest tax increase in the country's history.

In spite of that, the country fell upon favorable economic times. But, Wisconsin First District Congressman Peter Barca didn't fare as well. His vote to support Clinton cost him any chance of re-election.

Yes, Clinton is much more than a womanizing liar. He's also the president who ruined the political and government career of one of the brightest Democratic stars ever from Wisconsin - Les Aspin. It's no accident that Clinton never returned to the First District as president. No decent Democrat would ever welcome him here.

Yes, it's not accurate to say Bill Clinton is nothing but a womanizing liar. He's so much more.

But, when Clinton's presidency is analyzed by future historians, he'll be remembered for two things - he had an affair with an administration intern inside the White House walls, and he lied about it.

Stan,
On Friday's show you made the comment that Bill Clinton was "NOTHING BUT a womanizing liar". Do you really mean that? That he had absolutely no other redeeming qualities? If so, I'd have to say that such is not the remark of an intelligent, educated person, but is demagogic and just plain mean-spirited.
